Popular Post Coolrock Posted August 20, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Due to Florida recently feeling like you’re living on the surface of the sun, my garden became toasted. This weekend, I decided to go ahead and replace everything with plants more friendly to higher heats. I’m not in any way a landscaper, but I don’t think I do a bad job when it comes to it. Let’s get to it! Started by pulling everything out and leveling the ground. Replaced the stone edgers, and also decided to add a raised section in the back. Next, I laid top soil and started planting the bushes I got to the raised section. I hopefully want these to grow to cover some of the brick for now, until I have a chance to replace them (they aren’t very pretty, and have a lot of damage to them I’m general). I’ve always liked marble and stones, but didn’t want to do the entire thing with them. I decided to use an older pot I had, and did something to add a little character to the garden. I think it turned out pretty well. After that, I decided to start adding the bulk of the plants that I’d got. Some I already had in planters, waiting for the chance to put somewhere. There time finally came to shine! Added a few smaller flowers around the open spaces, and decided to call it complete. There’s also a smaller area that I decided to do again also, since the flowers here burned up as well. I wanted to keep flowers here, but they never faired well with all the sun that hits the front of the house. I decided to do something with pots, so that I could move them into the shade if it gets too hot. Last but not least, I put mulch around everything. I decided on a dark mulch, since most of everything is green for the time being until the flowers start to bloom. I plan to do another area next week. Feel free to share any of your gardens and whatnot also! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRAYDO Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 That looks absolutely peaceful, tending to a garden like that. If I wasn't living in these apartments, I would so be on that. My housing situation may change soon, and should that be I should definitely get on some gardening. It seems it would be quite calming for the mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says, “Welcome Home” more than something you did with your own two hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodlied Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Even though it looks simple, it looks really nice and fits perfectly as a small bit of green in front of your home. +1 from me lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
